The Palo Alto Networks® PA-2000 Series is comprised of the PA-2050 and the PA-2020, both of which are targeted at high speed internet gateway deployments. The PA-2000 Series manages network traffic flows using dedicated processing and memory for networking, security, threat prevention and management.

The controlling element of the PA-2000 Series is PAN-OS™, a security-specific operating system that natively classifies all traffic, inclusive of applications, threats and content, then ties that traffic to the user, regardless of location or device type. The application, content, and user—in other words, the business elements that run your business—are then used as the basis of your security policies resulting, in an improved security posture and a reduction in incident response time.
